SMARTEST | Ereuna

A modern advanced testing protocol. SMoke And Related Toxin Exposure Swatch Test.

SMARTEST is our advanced test method developed to quantify how effectively protective clothing materials resist the permeation of both fine particulates and gaseous chemicals present in wood smoke. By generating a highly controlled and fully reproducible smoke challenge, SMARTEST enables real‑time tracking of particulate movement and volatile organic compound (VOC) penetration through test materials.

Our instrumentation is capable of measuring particulate ingress across an exceptionally broad size spectrum (6 nm to 10 µm) while simultaneously detecting smoke‑borne gases. This integrated approach provides a detailed, evidence‑based understanding of material performance under realistic smoke exposure conditions, offering manufacturers the critical insight needed to develop safer and more reliable protective solutions.

SMARTEST+ extends the capabilities of the SMARTEST method by enabling full‑ensemble evaluation using a highly programmable robotic mannequin. This system can be configured to perform a range of controlled, repeatable movements including arm raising, bowing, and squatting over user‑defined time periods. Throughout these dynamic motions, the mannequin operates within a reproducible smoke environment while real‑time measurements of particulate and VOC ingress are continuously recorded.

By integrating realistic movement patterns with controlled smoke exposure and high‑resolution monitoring, SMARTEST+ provides a comprehensive assessment of how complete protective ensembles perform under operationally relevant conditions. This advanced level of testing offers manufacturers robust, evidence‑based insight to support the development of safer and more reliable protective systems.
